LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County remains under a red flag warning through Sunday evening, with the area still subject to an elevated risk for the potential for a public safety power shutoff.

The red flag warning across Lake and several neighboring counties will continue until 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has so far not called for a public safety power shutoff for Lake County due to the weather, however, conditions in the Sacramento Valley and foothills led to PG&E shutting off power late Saturday to about 10,300 customers in parts of Butte, Plumas and Yuba counties.

PG&E, which activated its emergency operations center to monitor conditions, said portions of Napa, Lake and Sonoma counties remain under an elevated risk for a public safety power shutoff on Sunday as well as on Wednesday and Thursday.

The weather forecast for the region notes a high pressure system that is expected to bring warmer, above-normal temperatures and breezier conditions over the next few days.

Temperatures are expected to cool on Tuesday and Wednesday, with gusting north or northeast winds from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, prompting PG&E’s concerns that a power shutoff may be necessary.
